that's the rub... federal debt.

the budget deficit is tame, debt is where the rubber hits the road. like dc_dux pointed out: foreign investment is the most worrisome part of that... should we continue to lower interest rates china may start dumping those dollars at wholesale prices causing uncheckable inflation.
